What exactly happened in Kibeho, Rwanda, in 1994? What did heaven need to warn us about? As one of the most shocking of all Marian apparitions, what did this prophecy say and why is this fully approved Marian apparition so important today?

Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC as he discusses the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick — Who can be anointed, when, and how often?  This teaching is part of Fr. Chris's brand-new book, Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed! — a must-have guide to the spiritual treasures of the Church.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122325.cfm Christmas does not begin when the stores say it does. It begins with prayer. As Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains, the Church enters Christmas at Vespers on Christmas Eve, because the mystery we celebrate is not sentimentality but the Incarnation itself — God entering history to heal what humanity could never repair on its own.
